🔍 Key Concepts

• Muster and abandonment procedures on board vessels or offshore units • Who usually operates the launching equipment (davits, winch, release gear) for survival craft • The idea of the person who leaves the installation or vessel last having specific responsibilities

💭 Think About

• Which person is in the best position to confirm that everyone else is safely on board the survival craft before it is lowered? • Who would normally remain on the installation or vessel to operate the launching gear and only board at the very end? • Think about standard emergency drills: in what sequence do people board and who controls the final launch?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify who is typically designated in abandon ship / abandon platform procedures to control the final lowering of the survival craft • Consider which option describes a role in the launching sequence, not a general job title on the crew • Check that the person responsible can both confirm all are embarked and still be able to get into the craft before it is actually lowered
